Browar Warka Brews Competitive Formula

Solution Overview

Increasing the effectiveness of bottling was the first priority and the Proficy Plant Applications Efficiency module offered the right mix of rich reporting and easy connectivity to data from existing automation platforms and systems. In the evaluation of different solutions, Browar Warka was particularly impressed with Proficy's capability to model complex production lines in such a way that the true "culprit machine" that led to a line stoppage could be identified.

By getting past the complexity of the line interactions, plant engineers now have a common platform providing accurate, timely information that supports both real-time fixes as well as historical analysis of efficiency losses.

“We know which direction we are heading in. We know that we have
to focus on more automatic and precise control of the production
process.” - Krzysztof Żyrek, Production Director
